Amiodarona for the rest of my life. Side effects scare me. Is there an alternative?

Is there an alternative to Amiodarone? The side effects scare me. I feel well without it, but I'm about to have inurial (?) hernia surgery.. first surgery in my life. I have started with 200mg twice a day and the doc says it's for the rest of my life. What are the restrictions on taking this drug? Can I have an occasional wine?

Maltaq was said to be a amiodarone type drug without all the side effects, but many patients had to be pulled off of it due to worsening their heart falure, even causing death. Ask your doctor ( electrophysiologist) about it.
